A handful of decades ago, on this very day, two of the greatest of the greatest species decided to go on a first date. It went quite well so they decided to go on another and then another and then eventually decided to get married and have some kids. I am one of them. And I’m very thankful for that. Especially on my favorite of favorite days. Thirteen years ago, I began a tradition to celebrate this. A shot before my feet hit the floor. And damn if I can’t say it’s even more delicious first thing in the morning. The Irish call it Uisce Beatha, the water of life. And it truly is. Slainté to all and to all a good... morning. Hope your day is as cheerful as mine. And hope it brings as much life as it did to those two great lovers who on this day, near 40 years ago, chose to begin their walk together. Happy anniversary, mom and dad. And Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone else! #happystpattys#happyanniversary#bestdayoftheyear#treatyoself#irish🍀#thisfilmmakinglife

Raise a glass to a mind and a man that searched beyond what was known, who faced challenges with greatness, and who opened so many eyes to the vastness and brilliance of the universe. RIP Dr. Hawking. Thank you for what you brought to this world.

Today is this beauty’s 89th Birthday. Full of love and soon to be full of cake (her favorite food). Wish I was there to celebrate, Nonna. Tonight I’ll be raising a glass to you. And to the memory of the man we all love the most. #nonnasbirthday#nonnaandnonno
